ceived it would require constant work for six
weeks before the mint could fill the orders at

York demands more pennies especially as the
Christmas shopping days are near at hand, and
since Philadelphia car fares were reduced from
six five cents the odd pennies have dropped
out of sight.

few weeks longer for temporary relief-wait I'M

DARLING.

at isn't the things you do, darling,
But the things you leave undone;
By your gentle and tender wooipg
My heart has been wholly undone.
Your eyes bespeak the passion
That only the pure may know,
And heaven is here. my darling,
Because you have loved me so.
By your counsel many a burden
From my aching shoulders fell;
And yet, there's a secret sorrow
That | sometimes long TO tell.
But time has taught me silence
only my joys impart;
Ny sorrow, the angels know it
They, and my human heart.
All, Life would be naught but tinsel,
Were 1t not our souls could feel
For the needy, who seek compassion
For the suffering, with hearts to heal.
Could you come TO me now my darling,
Could | feel the toush OF your hand,
l think you would guess nv sorrow,
think-you would understand.
For you know there's a silent language,
IT'S known by the birds aud flowers,
And only such hearts may speak 1t
That have learned to love like ours.
Till we meet in this sweet assurance,
Let your night ank your day dreams be
OF that which is nOblest ia nature;
For OF sacb are ms dreams Of thee.

WARNING FOOD FOR cows.
When cows first drop their calves a
mash of bran mixed up with warm wa
Ter is excellent to cool the internal
heat and prevent fever. At this time
and for q week aftcrward all the water
the COW drinks should at least have
the chill taken from it. There is no
doubt that warm food a<d drink are
greatly stimulating to the production
Of milk, but is it best for the general
health of the COW to continue itp The
failure in giving cooked food to stock
may throw some light on the subject.
They are generally given warm, and,
while the experimenter is usually much
pleased with the results ut first, he
finds after one or two years trial that
the new method is not SO advantageous
As he had supposed. If food is given
warmer than the animal heat it aids
digestion, but in the same proportion
enfeebles the stomach by giving it less
work to do. 1t is something like the
effect OF stimuIants when taken by
human beings.
